We performed a comparison between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Red Hat OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The solution is stable."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"I would recommend Red Hat OpenShift, especially for its automation capabilities."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"The stability has been good."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
